Mission Bay dropped their record down to 23-7 on Friday, which also ended the team's five-game streak of wins. They lost 7-0 to the Calexico Bulldogs. The Buccaneers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bulldogs apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2022.

On the hitting side, Mission Bay saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Van Playman, who went 2-for-3 with one double.
As for Calexico, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 22-4-1. Considering they have won ten contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
On Calexico's side, David Lara tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run over six innings pitched. Lara has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kenneth Calderon was excellent, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, one double, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Randy Baez, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
